I just looked on Steam, it's actually $10 and not on Linux. Last time I checked it was $5. It was probably during a sale.

I got mine in the Orange box, so I don't know what I paid for it, but I do remember once seeing it for 1,75 euros on steam (during the christmas sale I think?). Anyway, it's also a Source engine game (like anything Valve makes), so it's likely Linux support will be coming.

It's a great game. I also really enjoyed Portal 2._________________we are microsoft, lower your firewalls and surrender your pc's. we will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. your culture will adapt and service us. resistance is futile.

I'd still probably do $10, but with no Linux, it'd have to run in a VM, and that may be more trouble that its worth to me.

Humor? That's questionable. Low-brow comedy isn't my thing, so I guess it'd just depend on how involved it is. Thinking is good, provided it isn't so obscure all but the most dedicated will need a cheat guide.

I generally enjoy a game that allows me to sit down for a while and play and not worry about turning off (obviously I might try finishing a level before doing so, but I don't want to spend 30 minutes harvesting trees or some such)._________________You're jumping to conclusions, so I can't keep up with you. Go on without me, I'll just slow you down.

Puzzles are challenging but the execution, once you've solved it in your head, is not overly difficult.

I played through Portal but not Portal 2. The humor is not really lowbrow as in limmericks and fart jokes... It's humor in the sense that the computer that narrates the game has quirks, engages in fuzzy logic and needs to see a psychologist.

If you get it, I hope you enjoy it._________________"History began on July 4,1776. Everything before that was a mistake." -Ron Swanson
